Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

There are two parts to this trial. First, to compare the rate of myopia progression of spectacle films using Spatio Temporal Optic Phase (S.T.O.P.®) technology that provide a dynamic optical cue against single vision spectacle lenses. Second, to compare the rate of myopia progression of spectacle films using S.T.O.P.® technology that provide a dynamic optical cue against spectacle films using S.T.O.P.® technology that provide a static optical cue. A dynamic optical cue is one that changes, and a static optical cue is one that does not change.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In the first part of the trial, myopic children (6-14 years of age) will be randomly allocated to wear one of three spectacle lens options (standard single vision spectacle lenses, standard single vision spectacle lenses + S.T.O.P.® Kit 1 spectacle films, or standard single vision spectacle lenses + S.T.O.P.® Kit 2 spectacle films). S.T.O.P.® spectacle films are applied to the front surface of standard single vision spectacle lenses. Both S.T.O.P.® Kits 1 and 2 are comprised of two different sets of spectacle films applied to two different pairs of single vision spectacle lenses which are worn on alternate weeks, and thus both S.T.O.P.® Kits 1 and 2 provide a dynamic optical cue.

In the second part of this trial, participants will be randomly allocated wear of of two spectacle lens options (the best performer from S.T.O.P.® Kits 1 and 2 in terms of reducing the rate of myopic progression and single vision spectacle lenses + S.T.O.P.® film). As previously stated, both S.T.O.P.® Kits 1 and 2 provide a dynamic optical cue while S.T.O.P.® film provide a static optical cue.

The overall trial duration, including follow-up period, is expected to be approximately 42 months. Each participant's duration is expected to be approximately 30 months.

The visits are Baseline, Dispensing, 1 month, 4 months, 6 months, then visits every 6 months after.

All procedures performed at these visits are standard, non invasive clinical tests.
